WPA Cuts Hit Athens County Road Work And Bridges
County Engineer Harry Dusz says 249 WPA workers remain on Athens County roads, down from 3000 three years ago, with six projects active including Hollister Goose Run and Green Valley roads. A 16 foot concrete bridge near Bean Hollow collapsed but no one was harmed. Repairs target bridges like Big Run and White Cottage, while WPA projects beyond six are suspended due to funding and gasoline tax declines.
